Humidity

What is the good range for humidity? The answer is between Rh 85 - RH 95. Why?

1. This type of environment can produce big, clean and good shape nest (so can fetch better price).

2. If the humidity is much lower than the range, the baby birds will feel thirsty in short time. So the swiftlet need to fly back to feed the baby birds every now and then. Do you think the swiftlet will like this type of environment?

3. If the humidity is much lower than the range, the nest will be attached with many feathers as swiftlets will encounter fall off of feathers. Do you think the swiftlet will like this type of environment?

4. On the contrary, if the humidity is much higher than the range for long term, the nest will be hard to dry and stick on the nesting plank. The worse case is the nesting plank will grow fungus. Do you think the swiftlet will like this type of environment?

So now, you know how important to control the humidity between Rh 85-95.

May you have successful farm!
